Laguna Beach Getaway

My long awaited getaway had finally arrived! Cora, my sister-in-law, flew into LAX Thursday afternoon and we hit Third Street Promenade for some window shopping. After dinner, we went back to actually shop, but realized that I had looked at the hours for the weekend, so all the store were closed. We enjoyed a crepe and alcoholic beverages instead.

Thursday morning we drove to Laguna Beach and enjoyed the Flavors of Laguna tour. Our guide had called earlier to try and cancel due to rain, but we couldn't reschedule, so we went anyway. Cora and I were the only ones, but we still enjoyed exploring Laguna and filling up on delicious food AND it turned out to be a gorgeous day! After the tour, we shopped at South Coast Plaza and found purses and a dress for Cora to wear to my brother's wedding. We ate a light dinner at Nordstrom's Cafe to save room for shaved ice at Mochilato. We totally crashed when we reached Mike's house!

Bright and early the next morning, we met future sister-in-law Minji at Beachcomber Cafe for breakfast. So this is how it feels like to have TWO sisters...so much fun! :) Then off to Spa Montage, a five star hotel in Laguna Beach to meet Cora's cousin, Jean. I enjoyed a clay wrap and a facial and just not having any worries for the day. After the treatments, Cora and I took a mini hike to the beach and then took our first ever yoga class. Then a simple dinner of soups and appetizers and we were already home from our getaway. It sure was fun while it lasted!
